Hello again all,
Sorry I've been so lax on commenting lately. Been super busy at work. Well I finally took a vacation and I turned a few things including a first!
First off is a Black Locust natural edge bowl I turned for a lady that comes into the store a lot. We traded goods.
Next up is a bowl that I turned as a display piece for work. A really nice piece of fiddle back Maple. The black rim is actually scorched the rubbed with scotch bright. It has kind of a neat effect, you can actually feel the figure in the wood.
Last up is my first segmented bowl...thingy...
I had no idea what I was doing or how thick or long to make the segments. I basically just guessed. I did not choose the shape. That's just the shape it had to be because of the segments. Actually there's a couple spots if I would have turned the bowl down any farther I would have gone through. I'm just happy it didn't fly apart. So here's the woods going from the bottom to the top: Avodire, Mahogany, Jarrah, Mahogany, Madrone, Ash, Australian Blackwood, Bubinga, Madrone, and Sapelle Mahogany (that might be starting to spalt).
So that's it. That's all I have to show for my vacation. Any comments, critques, or critisisms are welcome.
